Amid the dust and blood of conflict, there lies a deeper truth. On the northern Arkansas border of 1804, an Osage warrior and a young trapper pit wits and strength in a deadly battle only one will survive. When Matt Crane left home to travel the far western lands, he didn't intend to be gone long. Four years later, he returns to find his family dead, his hometown destroyed, and his sweetheart taken captive by Quick Killer, a vicious renegade Osage warrior with a score to settle. Kidnapping the woman Matt loves is only the beginning of Quick Killer's plan as he seeks revenge upon Matt, the architect of his shame. What he fails to realize, though, is that he faces an adversary far more tenacious than he ever thought possible-one that will push his very limits. In a showdown that will test their resolve and redefine their fates, Matt Crane and Quick Killer must confront their deepest fears and come to terms with the legacy of their actions-and the ties that bind them. A fast-paced frontier adventure, Osage Dawn blends love and raw adventure in the wild frontier, where history was made amid gut-wrenching fights for survival.
